About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.

About: I currently work at Mann Veterinary Hospital in Owens Cross Roads, working towards my dream to become a vet tech and one day, a veterinarian! There, I work with dogs all day long! i can also walk your babies and give baths! I can’t wait to work with your fur babies! I typically work every other weekend, sometimes every two weekends, so message me beforehand! I get off at 5 everyday, and I’m off every Monday! I will never walk your dog without a leash. I will always make sure your pet has plenty of water and food when néeded! If needed, I can easily crate your dog!

“Amber did an amazing job with our two giant furbabies! We took a much needed vacation and it was such a blessing to have someone so great with lots of experience do such a wonderful job taking care of our sweet pups while we were gone. It was so much better for the pups to be home in their own environment than board at the vet! I appreciate her great service so much and will definitely use her again!”


About: I am a vet tech assistant at Guntersville Animal Hospital and I am trained in toe nail trims, anal glands, baths, giving medicine, ect.. for both cats and dogs! I love what I do! I am currently working full time at the vet clinic working every day but Tuesdays. I am free after 5:30pm and also off most weekends. I’m available to stay overnight on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I can let your fur babies outside on a leash or roam free if you have a fence. I am very attentive inside and outside and I love to play outside with animals!

About: I grew up on a small farm. My parents taught me how to care for pretty much any animal you could think of from a young age. Now as a mom myself I am teaching my kids a love for animals. I would love to get to know your fur babies I currently work from 8am-5pm. Monday thru Friday However my job site is very flexible and allows us to come and go throughout the day for lunch and breaks. I live on about two acres in the country side. Our land is not fenced in However we have ample space to run and play. We have a large living area indoors as well.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I've turned my deep love for animals into something truly personal. From playful pups to seasoned seniors, I've mastered the art of tail wags, belly rubs, and understanding each pet's unique personality. Whether it's daily routine, special needs, or those little quirks only a true pet lover would notice-I treat every furry friend like family. I work Mon - Thurs 8am-4pm and Friday 8am-2pm. If you need boarding, check ins or walking during these times please message me and other arrangements can be made if necessary. I work within 10 mins of my home and take an hour lunch break daily. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 fur babies of my own to play with your pups. I can also offer crating if you would prefer, but in our house all pups are free to roam and get in the beds and on furniture.

About: Professional, Empathic Petcare 🥰🐾 From an Expert who worked with veterinarians for 3 years and has been grooming dogs for 11 years (that's me ❤️) and special interest in holistic medicine and nutrition. My petsitting and grooming focuses on the health and emotional well-being of your baby. They'll be having a fun vacation in my home or have their fun pet nanny come to them🥰 🐾 Pet care fits into my daily schedule very well, as I make my own hours, leaving me more time to prioritize your fur baby 🥰 They'll be staying in my comfortable, 2 bed 1 bath home on 1/2 acre with fenced in backyard. Not to be left unattended in the yard since it is made from garden fencing, and small dogs unable to climb fencing is preferred. Fence climbing dogs should not come here because there is a fast road adjacent to the slower road that I live on. When I leave to run errands I will sequester my cats in another room from the dogs. I go with the flow, and understand every animal will behave differently so please let me know if your baby has any special needs or habits!

About: I have 11 years of experience hiking with / walking dogs! I’ve had my foxhound / lab mix for 11 years. I also have experience cat sitting! Taking care of pets is what I love most and I would find so much joy in meeting yours! I can not do over nights, but I do have experience with check ins while people are out of time for multiple days at a time. I have plenty of leashes, and even poo bags and a glow collar for night walking! I have experience changing out pee pads and doing regular check ins.

About: I have grown up around animals of all kinds. Goats, pigs, horses, cats, and dogs you name it and I’ve probably babysat them. I love animals because they are the purest form of love and happiness to me. I am a college student in my last year. I spend most of my time at home with my pup doing homework and working my part time job. My schedule allows me to pay the upmost attention to your lovely babies. I have a fenced in yard that allows my pup to run around outside. I also frequent the doggie park and participate in enrichment activities for Juno.

“Tammy is wonderful, she came by and scooped my kitty’s litter box and fed them their wet food, she took the time to play and take the best pictures of them. I’m glad she took care of their physical needs and their emotional needs too. I highly recommend.”

Shelby J.
“Shelby is one of those people that animals instantly trust—and for good reason. She’s incredibly kind, calm, and patient, and she truly treats every pet like her own. On top of that, she works as a vet tech, so she has the experience and training to handle all kinds of situations, whether it's giving meds, noticing signs of stress, or just making sure your pet is happy and healthy. I’ve seen her care for pets of all sizes and personalities, and she always knows exactly how to make them feel safe and loved. She's also super reliable and communicates really well, so you always know your pet is in good hands. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond, you won't find anyone better than Shelby.”


Amber Y.
“Amber is a kind and gentle human being, she just also happens to be one of the biggest animal lovers I know, If she could she would have a whole farm of just different animals so love on. When she mentioned to me about Rover, I couldn’t help but think that this just made the best partnership, if I could I would buy her a zoo because I know that she loves animals so much.”


Michelle M.
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle! She watched my four dogs and treated them like they were her own. From the moment she met them, it was clear how caring, loving, and kind she is. Each of my dogs has their own personality and needs, and Michelle made sure they were all comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I had total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Truly grateful for the love and attention she gave them!”

“Fantastic communication, great photos, and detailed updates. Will absolutely schedule with Elizabeth in the future.”


Candace J.
“Candace took care of my babies multiple times over the years. She shows empathy and care like no other sitter I have met. My cat is very anti social yet Candace was able to become best friends with her and loves her and help her be more social. Highly recommend Candace as a pet caregiver.”
